Just dropping one of my poems in here - have a joyful day.
Air is an agent of motion
Lifting
Dropping
Twirling
Swaying
The contents of the world
Clearing
And
Collecting
From expanses to crevices
Performing its
Mystical
Disappearance act
Caressing
Teasingly
And then
Leaving us behind.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

Hegseth authorized the National Guard in DC to carry weapons.
This is another escalation that puts DC communities in even more danger.
We should not have armed soldiers patrolling the streets of any U.S. city, let alone our nation’s capital.
We the people demand federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC

Armed masked men kidnapping people off the streets.
An illegitimate Supreme Court trampling the Constitution.
Congressional Republicans abdicating responsibilities to their King.
Billionaires consolidating power, wealth, and influence.
Fascism is here. The question is, what will you do about it?

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

“Where are the “Free Kilmar” billboards? Where are the front-page stories counting down his days in hellish captivity? Why was today the first time his family was featured on new and old media outlets? The conspiracy of silence and complacency must end.” New from Jen Rubin.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.
